The Secret Garden, an original Missoula Children’s Theatre rendition, is a joyful retelling of a story of hope and celebration and all good things in life. Mistress Mary Quite Contrary embarks on a journey from India to her uncle’s home in England. Along the way she makes friends with the hilarious Canadian Geese and the colorful Giant Bugs. In time she learns to appreciate everything around her, including the Moor Animals and the helpful Fireflies. Add to that a good healthy dose of caring, and what happens? Colin, Martha, and Archibald begin to enjoy the return of health and happiness in a garden carefully tended…until it blossoms once more.

Faust, fly balls, and devilishly good fun all meet at the home plate of the 7 Tony Award winning Broadway musical, DAMN YANKEES.

Filled with hit songs like “Whatever Lola Wants” and “You Gotta Have Heart”, this show is a musical comedy home run!
